Should there be a quality difference between these 2 formats..I know native gives you more record time on P2 card.

The images are identical. 720 "p" mode is embedded in a 60p data stream, so it takes up the full 100mbps data rate, and can stream out the firewire, etc.
720pN mode uses only the bandwidth it needs (so 720/30p = 1/2 as many frames as 720/60p, and therefore takes up 50mbps instead of 100mbps) but the frames are identical in quality between the two modes.
